It is also hoped that the Republicans this year will not make the mistake they made two years ago, pledge themselves to do certain things that is not within their power to guarantee. That is to say, the City Committee, selected to act for the incoming two years, has no prerogative to dictate the policies or place limitations on the powers of their successors. Each convention is its own sovereign, having the powers and prerogatives to will, act and execute its desires, whether they follow recommendations, commands or old precedents. Many citizens have taken certain recommendations made 2 years ago to be equivalent to a mandatory order as unchangeable as the, "Laws of the Medes and Persians." It is an established fact that the republican committgemen who voted on the agreement, we hear so many referring to, has no authority to act for the party so far ahead. As individuals, they were privileged to pledge and agree to anything. Under the present status of affairs, we know it to be the prevailing sentiment of a stupendous majority of Republicaus, explicitly ac quiesced in by many Democrats, is to continue men and officials in positions, they at present, occupy. A WORD FROM IOWA. Rev. O. A. Johnson, of Des Moines, Gives Us a Graphic Account of Iowans and His Western Tour. DES MOINES, IA., Jan. 30, '06. Mr Editor: We wish to inform you and your many readers that we are yet alive spiritually, physically and mentally. Your most interesting paper has a great deal to do with our mental and intellectual ability. We have learned to look for your paper every Monday morning in P O B 931 not later than Tuesday. Our dailies printed here are not read so regu'ar. The truth is we could hardly do without the news your paper furnishes us every week. We were given four weeks' vacation by our church and started for the West. We spent two days in Salt Lake city, three in Portland, Oregon; visited the great Lewis and Clark exposition; two days in Seattle, Washington; two days in Vancouver, Canada; one day in the Glacier, Montana. We came back through North Dakota, Minneapolis and St Paul. Our church here is getting along nicely in every way possible. We have just put in a $180 furnace and every dollar paid. We ran a three weeks' meeting with 12 conversions, six of whom joined our church. Last quarter we raised $276.80. How is that for about 30 paying members? We intend to make this year our banner year in our report at conference. The Youth's class of our church led by Mrs E J Mack, gave us a LLOYD LANDS ANOTHER. Fulton, Mo., Feb., 21—As further evidence of the growing popularity of the Knights of Pythias in Missouri. there was organized on the evening of the 20th a lodge in Fulton, the Kingdom of Calloway. Dr. J. D. Sexton, Grand Medical Register, had spent some time in endeavoring to get together or some good men as worthy candidates for knighthood, As a result of his efforts, twenty seven worthy men were present on that evening, prepared for initiation. Among those, who conducted the initiation, were several members of Western Star Lodge No. 55 of Mexico and the incessant and tireless worker, A W Lloyd. The newly organized lodge was not long in search of a suitable name, because Prof W C Reid in a short speech made an application of the Golden Rule to life, "What soever ye would that men would do unto you; do ye even so unto them." He suggested and it was unanimously adopted that the new lodge be named, the Golden Rule Lo-ge No. 61.

A few of them have been answered by the state superintendent as follows: 1. The home instruction given in lieu of the school must be regular and during the usual school hours every day equivalent to the instruction given in school. 2. The court, not the teacher's school clerk or truant officer, may excuse. The court need not excuse children on account of their living two and one-half miles from the school. Able-hodied healthy children go further than that without considering it a hardship. 3. A child may be excused by a court if it can not procure proper clothing, but not on account of inability to buy books. The school board must furnish books. It is hoped that there will be a charitable organization in every school district to furnish clothing when necessary. 4. It is the duty of the Attendance officer, or district clerk in a district not having attendance officer, to prosecute parents who fail to comply with the law after due notice has been given. 5. A parent who thinks he has good and sufficient excuse for not sending his child to school should not wait to be notified. He should secure written excuse from the court and have it ready to present when notified. The law does not contemplate that court wait for prosecution. Secure excuse and stop prosecution. 6. The attendance law is not in conflict with section 9794 which gives school boards authority to suspend or expel pupils from school. When the conduct of a child is such as to demoralize the school he should be sent to the state reformatory. No child should be turned out of school for slight infraction of the rules.

He was a member of the M E church for quite a number of years. During a portion of that time he had many trials and temptations.

Cheer up bereaved ones and weep not that he would stay in this sinful world, for "the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord."
